"That $53 steak tasted like intensely beef-flavored butter. Flavor, texture, juiciness...that was the best steak I ever consumed." – danna on Lobel's of New York's famed dry-aged steaks

"The best Epoisses I can find is ... [Fromagerie] Berthaut. I'm learning that they have a very slender window of perfection as they are so alive.
